We're not aiming to be elitest exactly, but we do aspire to substance. David, if you know of a venue close to you that gets frequented by foreigners, let me know. Also, give me an idea of how many issues we should drop off at a time. I'll make sure it happens. You’re right about Taiwanease aiming to fill the vacuum left by POTS.

It's also because foreigners in Taipei already have more to do than those further south so probably have less time to produce magazines. There was and maybe still is a free English magazine called Discontinued coming out of I-lan County in 2004. Taipei Times weekend articles rarely focus on events outside Nothern Taiwan. Highway 11 is distributed near the tourism office in Hualien train station which is where I found a copy last year. I think you can get a copy of the literary magazine Pressed by emailing pressed@asia.com. You could probably get a copy of most the magazines by simply sending an email asking to the magazines themselves. Some of the Taichung-based magazines can also be found in the Subway sandwich shops in Taichung. There was a very short-lived restaurant review mag in Taichung. Finding keeping and advertisers are often a problem for English language magazines. This was the reason the English language section in the Taipei based POTS newspaper was pulled.
